Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

I’m Letting Go
A photo among portraits
A spark amongst the flames
The black behind the white
The darkness within the light
I just don't fit in
They judge me before they can know me
But that doesn't mean you can disown me
They put me down
It feels like I'm being thrown to the ground
My heart is so warm
But theirs is so cold
They make me just want to let go
This world is so cold
Cold as the chain around my throat
I'm letting go
Don't cry for me
As the sky's bleeds gold
And the stars explode
As my universe...
A spark amongst the flames
The black behind the white
The darkness within the light
I just don't fit in
They judge me before they can know me
But that doesn't mean you can disown me
They put me down
It feels like I'm being thrown to the ground
My heart is so warm
But theirs is so cold
They make me just want to let go
This world is so cold
Cold as the chain around my throat
I'm letting go
Don't cry for me
As the sky's bleeds gold
And the stars explode
As my universe...

Gonna die
I open the window, the breeze blows by,
I look below where down tears cry.
I'm gonna die.
I think of feelings I've held inside,
I said the least and did all I tried.
For all I tried.
Sorrows pour to the ground below, tomorrow everyone will know...
I had to go.
Reasons and seasons,
they all go by,
motivations for chasing dreams all die.
And so do I.
I look below where down tears cry.
I'm gonna die.
I think of feelings I've held inside,
I said the least and did all I tried.
For all I tried.
Sorrows pour to the ground below, tomorrow everyone will know...
I had to go.
Reasons and seasons,
they all go by,
motivations for chasing dreams all die.
And so do I.

Trigger
memories of a past still present
Depression
climbing into our bed chills of ill feelings
no love in the morning cold eggs and bake
no kisses goodbye no affection to give
when I return from work no words spoken
empty inside I cry not to hide my pain
but in hopes that you would notice
Baby please kiss me, hold me close
let the words flow instead of silently ignored
pain is the closest to love I get
it's the only response I get
it seems as though we are both depressed
no weed or cigarettes could end this
razor blades...

no tears but dying
no tears yet formed
that can be seen
but I feel you crying
you've grown so cold
in a winter breeze
I know you're trying
can't wipe the fear away
that lives inside you thriving
your lips don't move
though I hear you say
you feel like you are dying
that can be seen
but I feel you crying
you've grown so cold
in a winter breeze
I know you're trying
can't wipe the fear away
that lives inside you thriving
your lips don't move
though I hear you say
you feel like you are dying

Undying dreams
Uncertain,
I do what I can.
Try my best to understand.
May be my fate,
To know too late.
Undying dreams
hide in my heart,
burst inside...
blow wide apart.
If I just do,
What I must do.
What makes me... me.
Won't set me free.
Heavy shoulders hang low,
Falling further I go.
Say I'm saying too much,
Think my thoughts then tell me such.
Hard not to mind...
While life unwind.
Ain't all daisies and rainbows,
Carrying my sorrows.
Borrow ways I can...
To be a...
I do what I can.
Try my best to understand.
May be my fate,
To know too late.
Undying dreams
hide in my heart,
burst inside...
blow wide apart.
If I just do,
What I must do.
What makes me... me.
Won't set me free.
Heavy shoulders hang low,
Falling further I go.
Say I'm saying too much,
Think my thoughts then tell me such.

head above water
Walking around like nothing happened.
Faking a smile at every turn.
Showing a brave face,
When everyone is breaking down around me.
Yet deep inside I'm drowning.
I'm just keeping my head above water.
I've hide away my tears.
Walked across my ocean of fears.
My pain, no one else sees.
I've stood my ground,
I've let everyone find shelter under my wing
What they don't know is,
Under this tough guy act
Under these cleverly painted walls.
I'm cracking apart inside.
Under this bold stance,
I'm drowning deep...
Faking a smile at every turn.
Showing a brave face,
When everyone is breaking down around me.
Yet deep inside I'm drowning.
I'm just keeping my head above water.
I've hide away my tears.
Walked across my ocean of fears.
My pain, no one else sees.
I've stood my ground,
I've let everyone find shelter under my wing
What they don't know is,
Under this tough guy act
Under these cleverly painted walls.
I'm cracking apart inside.
Under this bold stance,

What to do?
What does one do when taking on much verbal abuse?
Got no money or place to retreat to.
Wishful thinking.
Isn't promising.
Shits fucked up. What else is new?
Every goddamn morning i enter the house from a hard night at work.
Not 5 goddamn minutes later the bitchin starts.
God my fucking head begins to hurt.
Why does the one i love with my last fucking breath inflict this shit storm upon me?

Can You Hear Me?
Do you know who I am
Can you recognize my face
I know you hear voices
But can mine come through
I wish i could talk to you
Tell you all I’ve been through
But it’s so hard, when you’re so far gone
Can you hear me
I’m so sorry
Can you hear me
I’m so ashamed
I don’t know how to deal with it
So in the tears and silence I sit
Where there was once love
Hopelessness and fear subside
I still hold on to the memories,
But now i feel them fading away
Fading with each faint beat of my heart
Can...

Little Lost Boys
Little Lost Boys
When i was a Little Girl
I played Peter,
And rescued Wendy from Captain Hook
And the crocodiles
Tick, tick, tick
Meanwhile, the swallowed clock in my abdomen
Counted down minutes
Until my insides would betray me.
I carved symbols into Neverland trees,
Symbols that i could never carve
Quite deep enough into me,
And prayed my bark would scar quick.

Peter always dressed in clothes made out of leaves

IM FINE
I'm fine those two words that one lie
that bring me closer over the edge
I'm fine
waking up at 2 am
disgruntled confused
and sick not knowing where I am or who I am
I'm fine
lying about this to see who
my real friends are
those who see past my mask
and the ones who know when I'm fucked up and shaking
slightly crying
biding my time
scratching at the scars until i can breathe again
and actually
Be fine
And to know what that's like
and not
what it's like to lie
To be able to breathe without...
that bring me closer over the edge
I'm fine
waking up at 2 am
disgruntled confused

and the ones who know when I'm fucked up and shaking
